Scotland on Sunday caught up with David McCallum on a recent trip to London and got him to reflect candidly on his early days in Scotland, socializing with fellow future super spy Sean Connery , Man From U.N.C.L.E. mania and filming The Great Escape with Steve McQueen. McCallum also dwells on how astonishing it is that, at age 75, he is back on the top of the TV pack through his hit series NCIS.

Actor Harve Presnell, a star of major Broadway hits like The Unsinkable Molly Brown, has died at age 75. Presnell also sang the famous song They Call the Wind Maria in the film version of Paint Your Wagon. His films include Fargo, The Glory Guys and Flags of Our Fathers. For more click here
